Hi M8tey ,,, thread is 12 mm , socket is 18 mm... I got this tool from
Ace tools for £4.85 ... ebay and its a next day service from them as quick
as you like .. 3/8 socket drive. you will need an extender for the front plug and they are
made for the job . rubber grommet inside to fix and hold when you extract splug
from the gloomy innards etc ..

It sometimes helps to put a piece of tubing onto the top of the plug to let you screw it in to get the thread started before using the socket.Also coppaslip the thread.

Need help confused.com 12mm

I know what you mean. The thing is to not relate plug sizes to your standard socket sizes as it don't work. Plugs are measured by the thread not the hex bit. So it's a 12mm thread with a 12mm plug spanner required. But the actual size of the hex bit the the socket fits over is 18mm

Still confused

That's exactly what I use hence the above link to the other thread. Failing that there should be a plug spanner in the toolkit under the seat.
